There is concurrent opinion among the
Chicago politicians that the late munich pal
election i'll that city has been a political death
blow to CARTER HARRISON. II this is true IL
Is a fortunate thing for the Democrat ic party
in Illinois. CARTER HARRISON may not be as
bad man as he has been painted, yet it is
absolutely certain he is not as good as he
thinks he is.
-
The trouble with CARTER HARRISON as a
political leader is that he is demugogue by
nature. He possessed many of the elements
of successful political leadership. and in so me
respects was very useful man in public
life. But he was like the good mich cowtwho
always stopped her foot in the pail when it
was full. Every time the Democrats had u
chance to win a victory in Illinois CARTER
HARRISON was sure to knock the bottom out
of the bucket. Now that he is dead his fellow
Democrats ought to erect a monument over
his political grave, and inscribe on it his
own favorite motto: Here lies CARTER HAIR
RIsoN, who died pro bono pu blico.

Now that socialism has been so deeply
buried in Chicago HENRY GEORGE will proba-
bly, remove his Western headquarters to Gin
cinnati. where the exotic plant is in more
fiourishing condition. That district of Gin
cinnati popularity known as "Over the
Rhine" is suitable hotbed for socialism.

a lady correspondent takes issue with the
statement made in Sunbeams some time ago
that womankind never forgives the sister who
rises trom the humble walks of life to exalted
station. Our fair correspondent says IF
woman who commences life as a chamber
maid rises to q better position by her own
talents and energy she would get the praise
that would be justly her due from the rest of
womankind, but if she rises to high posi-
ton by marriage she will not be recognized as
an equal by those whose social standing is
above her own
Our correspondents philosophy may be
good enough, but if put into actual practice
1t will limit woman's chances for rising in
the world 10 very narrow sphere. We fail
to see why there is not as much merit in
being married into station as being born
into it.
A colored beggar woman asked aims at the
door of Il family in Richmond, Va. The lady
OF the house gave her dime and spoke kind
words to her. Afterwards the erStwhile beg
gar returned and made the LADY a present of
| $1,000 in cash. She was rich Norfolk darkey
| who had only been playing beggar to test the
| generosity of the Richmond people. Now
| every tramp who knocks at a Richmond door
is certain to have quarter tipped to him.

The French Medical Journal states authori-
| tatively that chickens have consumption aud
! that persons car contract the disease from
eating diseased fowls. Chicken livers contain
| the bacilli, now recognized as characteristic
of the disease. This is remarkable story to
be vouched for by so high medical authority,
| but an inspection of the chicken market at
| this season of the year will confirm it. There
are great many chickens on the market that
look like they had died of consumption.
| Why wouldn't it be good idea for the peo-
pie of st. Paul, irrespective of nationality, to
! hold mass meeting TO express Indignation at
the passage of the BALFoUR coercion bill by
the English parliament? The bill proposes to
abolish the jury system altogether for certain
| classes of crime. Trial by jury has ever been
the glory of the English law, after which our
| own law is modelled. 1t is the duty Of every
citizen of every free country in the world to
| protest against the effort to undermine this
great preservatiye of liberty.

If American art doesn't make much head
way it is at least gratifying to observe Ameri-
can literature holding its own with the rest
| of the world. American art would make
better progress if it was not for the insane
idea among Americans that a work of art
has no value unless it has foreign STAN o.
| When Americans learn to appreciate home
talent in the field of art as they do In litera-
ture, American artists will become as famous
as those OF France and Italy.

President CLEVELAND has taken to horse.
back riding. His wife and members of the
cabinet had q hard time to prevail on him to
do it. His objection was that he was toe
chunky to sit gracefully on a horse aud he
was afraid that the people on the street
would laugh at him. The real objection was
that he was afraid he couldn't ride fast
enough to elude the office-seekers who were
laying to catch him out.

The Boston people heard that the president
needed exercise, and in their usually accom-
modating spirit sent JOHN L. SULLIVAN down
to see about it. One look at the Boston
champion satisfied the president that be
didn't need massage treatment.
